Historical Traveler Reviews Bloomsbury Park - A Thistle Associate Hotel London
Avoid !
As with all the hotels in this chain - you get less than you pay for.
On the night we stayed, the double room we'd booked never materialised. We were given a twin and told to 'push the beds together'. When I did eventually climb into mine, it was full of what I can only imagine was sugar grains or salt. I rang reception (no apology - in fact, it sounded as if it happened every day) and about 20 mins later a porter arrived, refused to come into the room and simply passed me some fresh bedding with which to make up my own bed !
The rooms have no character whatsoever, the bathroom was small and poky and the breakfast area made you feel like you were in an airport terminal - and the food is tasteless.
To add insult to injury, they also attempted to charge me twice !
London's a big place and full of far better hotels. Try Montague on the Gardens, great location and friendly staff.
Easter in Boombury
Eight of us stayed at the Thistle Bloomsbury Park in Easter 2005 for three nights. Everyone had a different comment to make. For instance our shower downstairs was very powerful indeed, but our friend on the four floor said it was trickling. However the rooms were normal size and for the price we paid and considering that we were in London were very good and above all they were clean. Breakfast was buffet style and if you are there between 8.00 and 8.30 AM there is no problem in getting seats, you can eat as much as you like and the standards are very good. When I first booked the hotel and a latter stage found the reviews on this pages I was going to cancel, but I am please that my wife dissuaded me from doing so. The staffs in general were very friendly and helpful. If you are very demanding more likely you will find Thistle Bloomsbury Park no to you standards because it is true that some bathrooms needs a little bit of tender care and attention, but for the rest I can't complain. Will I go back there again? The answer is yes.
Room in Bloomsbury
So nondescript it's hard to remember much about this hotel, good or bad. Nothing has lodged in my mind as a serious problem with the room. As is now the custom in the UK, which has come to depend on cheap immigrant labor as much as the US, the desk is manned or womaned by kids from the nether regions of the globe, affable but clueless. No concierge -- bring your guidebook. Decent breakfast included in the price, though the Mexican-bullfight music in the refectory was somewhat jarring.
But you get a good location, with quite a few restaurants on Southampton Row, including a very agreeable French bistro. British Museum and Karl Marx's old watering hole, the Museum Tavern, a short stroll away.
If the price is right, you could do a lot worse. Assuming this is typical for Thistle hotels, you can't say they're a class act, but they give better value for money than the dreaded Grange chain.
Loved it there!
I stayed 2 nights while visiting London, and was so impressed with the hotel, staff and location. Bloomsbury was charming, the staff was eager to please and so friendly, and the room was absolutely lovely. I overlooked Southampton Row and spent an hour each night having a drink and watching people go by on the street. Although it was a bit of a hike to get downtown to the sights, I wouldn't have stayed anywhere else. Though if forced, I would consider other Thistle properties - it seemed amazing. The room and bathroom were lovely, and at the cost, I couldn't have been more impressed.
We stayed the weekend of April 23-25th, 2004.Location and staff are great, but it ends there. Rooms very small and noisy, bathroom unclean and toilet hard to flush. This place needs a make over!!!! Very moldy!!!!!!!!
The Bloomsbury Park scores well for location and value, but the plus points basically end there. The whole place looks badly in need of a lick of paint. My double room, even with single occupancy, was cramped and fraying. The TV was barely functional, the shower room extractor was unfeasibly noisy, and the whole room was festooned with the stains of previous occupants. Avoid.
Poor service
I have 'tolerated' this hotel once again because of its location - and the fact that I couldn't get a booking at a better *** hotel nearby.
London IS expensive and once certainly doesn't get much for one's money - even compared with cities like Paris or Barcelona. But having recently stayed in *** hotels in these cities, I was dismayed and (as a British person) embarrassed by the service at the Bloomsbury Park. The hotel reception was abrupt and unfriendly in the extreme - I felt like asking the receptionist what her problem was! She was even more abrupt to a Japanese woman who was attempting to locate a friend she thought was staying at the hotel. With breakfast not included in the room rate, the total cost made this neither a particular good value hotel nor a congenial one.
Staff were very kind with our early arrival and stored our bags for us so we were able to go and explore. Room was very clean, tidy and looked very modern! the bathroom was clean and tidy with substantial towels. The Shower was a little bit to powerful, and tended to splurt everywhere. Apart from that the staff was friendly, was set in nice location. the breakfast was amazing, full english with the continental buffet we could help ourselves to. even when we departed, they were more than happy to keep our bags stored whilst we were shopping. and came to collect them later, all in all got a great bargain and would stay there again.
What a disgrace
This hotel is one of the worst I have ever stayed at. The room I was allocated was small, unclean and unfunctional. The bathroom was basically a cupboard with just a small shower. The windows did not have locks on and anyone could easily have broken in. The room had no mini bar, a faltering TV, no chairs, uncomfortable bed, no iron or ironing board. I really could go on all day. The hotel is not even cheap - and there �10 breakfast is pretty poor. You get one sausage, one piece of bacon, poor scrambled eggs, one hash brown... This place is certainly not recommended.
Go to a 4-star if you can
This hotel was basically nice, but had a few problems. On the plus side, it had a good location (close to the British Museum, restaurants, etc.). The rooms were relatively clean but a little run down looking (e.g., the bedspreads were threadbare in spots). A little mildew in the showers and toilets that didn't flush too well. It had a good breakfast service. The staff was very friendly, but not very knowledgeable. They had no idea which restaurants in the area were good. Their "computerized" morning wakeup call system called us 1 1/2 hours later than we had requested and we missed a bus tour that cost us $500! The management "compensated" us by giving us $20 worth of free phone calls. These were calls we had to make to arrange for another tour. We probably could have stayed at a 4-star hotel for the amount of money this screw up cost us. Next time, we probably will pay the extra and avoid these kinds of headaches.

I've been using this product for years.
It's the best to prevent your hands drying up.
A little goes a long way, so it does work out economical in the long run.
And the fragrance is uplifting.
Encrusted items can be given a squirt with some warm water and after about 10 minutes - 1 hour later, the detritus just comes away.
I don't like the red caps, I wish they were still white.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—Ty broke the tie between two struggling American League clubs.
Ty Wigginton's(notes) sacrifice fly in the 11th inning broke the game's final tie and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Thursday night to snap a five-game losing streak.
Corey Patterson(notes) homered with two outs in the eighth off Kansas City's Robinson Tejada and tied the score 5-5. Nick Markakis(notes) led off the third for the Orioles with his ninth home run.
"He kept throwing fastballs," Patterson said. "I knew he had a good fastball from the scouting report. But when you start to see the same pitch over and over again you get a good track on it. I was able to hit it over the wall. It feels good to do it at a critical point in the game."
Wigginton's second sacrifice fly of the game scored Brian Roberts(notes) in the 11th and was off Blake Wood(notes) (0-2), the fifth Kansas City pitcher.
"I knew I could get the run home if I could get it to the outfield. I was looking to do that," Wigginton said.
Five Baltimore relievers combined to throw 7 2-3 scoreless innings with David Hernandez(notes) (5-7), who allowed one hit and struck out three in two innings, getting the victory. Alfredo Simon(notes) logged his 15th save in 17 opportunities.
The Royals have lost five straight and 14 of 17 to fall a season-worst 18 games below .500 (42-60). The Royals have traded away Scott Podsednik(notes) and Alberto Callaspo(notes) and lost David DeJesus(notes) to a season-ending thumb injury in the past eight days.
"If we put extra pressure on ourselves, we're really hurting ourselves," Royals second baseman Mike Aviles(notes) said. "We can't really worry about trades and injuries. That's just part of baseball. You're going to lose people and gain people. We've just got to pull together and fight through the storm."
Orioles rookie left-hander Brian Matusz(notes) held the Royals hitless over the first three innings, but didn't make it out of the fourth.
The Royals sent 10 men to the plate in a five-run fourth, which included Wilson Betemit(notes) walking with the bases loaded. Aviles' sacrifice fly scored Billy Butler(notes). Yuniesky Betancourt(notes) and Alex Gordon(notes) contributed run-producing singles in the inning, while Betemit scored on a fielding error by Adam Jones(notes).
"I was a little surprised," Matusz said of being pulled so quickly. "It was a bloop hit by (Rick) Ankiel. I'd pitched so effectively the first three innings. I was a little bit upset. No one wants to come out. I felt like I was capable of finishing. But, you know, if I don't like it I should stop walking guys and pitch better."
Matusz allowed five runs, two hits and four walks in 3 1-3 innings before being replaced by Mark Hendrickson(notes). He walked three in the fourth and all scored. Matusz has a 12.46 ERA in his past four starts, allowing 18 runs, 19 hits and 13 walks in 13 innings. After going 2-0 in his first three starts, Matusz is 1-11.
"The bullpen was fresh and we felt like we had enough arms down there," interim manager Juan Samuel said. "We saw Brian was laboring like he was in his last starts and we didn't want to let that get to him tonight. My mindset is not to put them in a position to lose games. I'd rather remove them earlier than late. We think he lost focus there and we didn't want to leave him in there."
The Orioles took a 3-0 lead after three innings. Roberts led off the game with a double, took third on a groundout and scored on Wigginton's sacrifice fly. Felix Pie(notes) singled in the second and moved to third on two wild pitches. He scored on Patterson's fielder's choice grounder.
"(Eight) walks hurt us and the inability to tack on runs," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Take your hat off to Corey Patterson. He put a nice at-bat on Robby to hit the tying home run. I don't get double frustrated, but it's frustrating."
Royals starter Kyle Davies(notes) left after 5 2-3 innings, allowing four runs, three earned, six hits and four walks. An error by Betancourt in the sixth led to Pie scoring an unearned run, Davies was replaced by Kyle Farnsworth(notes).
"The bottom line is we lost the game and I walked four guys," Davies said. "That can't happen especially when they come out and score five runs for me. I thought I did a good job of limiting damage, but there are still too many walks."
Notes: The Orioles are 26-9 at Kansas City since the start of the 2001 season. … Orioles SS Cesar Izturis(notes) singled in the sixth and is six hits from 1,000. … The Royals promoted RHP Greg Holland from Triple-A Omaha, where he was 3-3 with a 3.81 ERA in 36 relief appearances. With the addition of Holland, the Royals have a 13-man pitching staff. … IF Josh Bell(notes), who hit .400 in eight games since being optioned July 21 to Triple-A, has been recalled after the trade of Tejada. He will join the Orioles on Friday.

Terrible experience. Dr.D did an unnecessary ERCP which caused pancreatitis and a 2 week stay in the hospital. He was terrible at following up. Whenever he visited (only after several phone and visits to his office by the family) he said that everything was normal. Should have seen a dietician (referred to by Dr. D) before leaving the hospital but his office didn't make any appointment until 3 months (and 30 pound weight loss) later. I now see a different gastroenterologist

I was referred to this office after visiting the emergency room twice with extreme abdominal pain. He told me he "see's patients like you" all the time. He doesn't expect anything is wrong. "Stress" was to blame. Endoscopy was performed. He took biopsy's and I have not heard back. I CANNOT get an answer when I call this office. I leave several messages with no response. I am so frustrated. At least have someone there who will answer the phone or respond to a message.

I had a colonoscopy done in the past year. Dr. Dhaliwal is excellent for discussing any concerns you might have. He does not rush you. The preparation was easy and the procedure itself was done without any pain or discomfort at any time. I highly recommend this doctor if you need a colonoscopy.

After the colonoscopy we had been left with bad news which was stressful. It was difficult to get further information as well as a follow up appointment. However when we finally got an appointment to see Dr Dhaliwal, he explained everything clearly, he answered questions and we didn't feel rushed. He has a kind and friendly personality and speaks to us as if we are his equal. The post colonoscopy follow up consultation process needs improvement.

Dr. Dhaliwal and his staff were competent and compassionate. From the person who scheduled the appointment, to the nurses and doctors, everyone was helpful and seemed to understand that people were nervous and needed attention. The procedure started late, but that is not unusual in specialized medicine, and I was kept well informed along the way as to when we would get started.

MANKATO, Minn. Jan. 27, 2014 For patients who have experienced a large stroke that cuts off blood supply to a large part of the brain, the use of standardized medical management protocol and surgery to decompress swelling can improve life expectancy, Mayo Clinic researchers found in a recent study.
The medical protocol provided each patient with consistent procedures for airway management, ventilator settings, blood pressure control, fluid and electrolyte management, gastrointestinal and nutritional management, hematologic monitoring and management, intracranial pressure monitoring, sedation, use of medication, anticonvulsants, prevention against deep-vein thrombosis and rehabilitation.
Surgery involved removing a large portion of the skull over the area of the stroke to provide extra room for the brain swelling. This reduced pressure in the head and risk of death. For surviving patients, the piece of skull was replaced via a second surgery after the brain swelling had resolved.
"We discovered who out of this patient group was most at risk for mortality. We also determined that by using a standardized medical protocol in other words, treating every patient in the exact same way and preparing for each issue we may encounter we were able to reduce patient mortality by about 50 percent," says Douglas Chyatte, M.D., a study author and neurosurgeon at Mayo Clinic Health System. "In addition, when we examined surgery, there was a positive trend in reducing mortality in this group of patients.
Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As many as 80 percent of patients with large supratentorial hemispheric infarction strokes die, but research by Mayo Clinic and other medical experts has uncovered ways to significantly reduce deaths in these patients. The findings are published in the American Heart Association Stroke Journal.

66 reviews | 4.3 out of 5
I purchased the boy version of this doll for my 1 year old for Christmas and she adores it. She sings and dances with him all day. I got tired of taking it to daycare everyday so when I saw the female version of this doll, I jumped right on it. Let me preface this with the fact that the doll is very cute but the functionality of the item is off. As other reviewers have stated, it is uber sensitive and if my daughter moves it, the songs will cut off. It also repeats the same phrases over and over again and doesn't seem to repond to my daugters intentional touches (i.e she'll touch the hand and the doll will say lets's play not purple hand.) She likes to carry this doll around but doesn't play with it as much as the boy version. You would think they would create this just like the boy version but it is no where as good. Buy the boy one, not the girl one.
Would be nice If She had the nose press button such as the Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Learning Puppy.
She loves the songs
Got her for my 15 month old granddaughter. This doll is cute, she's got a sweet voice and she makes my granddaughter laugh and smile. My baby loves this doll! I'm glad she reached for her in the store when we were grocery shopping. She was so surprised to see this doll again. Good looking out Grandma!
I have purchased this item for a gift but from what I can see, it looks well made and it's very cute.
This is a great learning toy for a child. Would recommend it to everyone. Great price. Gift was bought for my great niece's 1st birthday.
The ads said up to 40 sing along song that a lie.
Excellent toy for any baby
I have always thought the learning toys to be pretty expensive. But the one is so adorable and comes with an affordable price tag. It has variety of songs and learning tools. It has become my daughters favorite. It gives a sense of comfort and always gets her to smile. not very heavy unlike the other learning toys.
I like this toy! My baby girl love's it! I had the other one for my son and he loved it too! Thanks!
Perfect for my 6 month old. Easy to play with and good for learning. I like that she does not have to press the buttons too hard. All she has to do is move the toy around or tap softly and the toy recognizes the soft touches. We can play together or I can just let her play alone.
Could not get item to finish a sentence. An adult could not make it work so I returned it and went to a playschool product. Disappointed in Fisher Price with this one.
I bought this doll for my 8 month old neice. Great tool to learn words and songs. It's helping her with her fine motor skills.
good as can be for a 6 to1 year old
I have purchased this product three times and all of my kids loved it! I definitely like that there is a girl puppy! So cute! Great buy!!!
I bought this for my niece and while it gets her attention, it is a little too big for her tiny hands at this time. She is 6 months old.
I am enjoying the songs and learning,more than she is.I have one problem,sometimes the sound goes in and out and doesn't finish what it starts.
Bought for Grand Child as parents an I found it to meet an exceed our over all expectations
Learning tool for a 2 Yr. Old.
This gift was happily received and used.
Excellent buy

Simple Times: Crafts for Poor Peopleby Amy Sedaris
Staff Pick
Very few people could pull off a book like this, but, rest assured, Amy Sedaris has. Featuring craft projects for crab-claw roach clips, countless pompon-related items, and everything in between, this hilarious book is a perfect gift for the DIYer with a fully developed sense of humor.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
America's most delightfully unconventional hostess and the bestselling author of I Like You delivers a new book that will forever change the world of crafting. According to Amy Sedaris, it's often been said that ugly people craft and attractive people have sex. In her new book, Simple Times, she sets the record straight. Demonstrating that crafting is one of life's more pleasurable and constructive leisure activities, Sedaris shows that anyone with a couple of hours to kill and access to pipe cleaners can join the elite society of crafters.
You will discover how to make popular crafts, such as: crab-claw roach clips, tinfoil balls, and crepe-paper moccasins, and learn how to:
- get inspired (Spend time at a Renaissance Fair; Buy fruit, let it get old, and see what shapes it turns into)
Plus... whole chapters full of more crafting ideas (Pompom Ringworms, Seashell Toilet Seat Covers) that will inspire you to create your own hastily constructed obscure d'arts; and much, much more.
"The true joy of this book lies in its hilarious and amazingly well-styled photo spreads, many featuring Sedaris in one of her uncanny disguises...The appeal of this book will certainly transcend the world of crafters." Booklist
"Sedaris often defies description. So does her book, Simple Times, a hyperkinetic hodgepodge of "Crafts for Poor People" celebrating traditional American handicrafts, as well as diversions like keeping pet rabbits and making mint juleps. ...the book's sheer visual exuberance and wide scope make it obvious that Sedaris is a dedicated follower of the pipe-cleaner arts. While Simple Times may not be for the dour D.I.Y.-er to whom crafting is a competitive sport, it has strong potential as a gift for anyone who's ever collected hats crocheted together, or Barbie dolls in knitted antebellum dresses designed to cover an extra roll of toilet paper - or simply for fans of Amy Sedaris and her idiosyncratic sense of humor."--The New York Times Book Review
"If there was any doubt that Amy Sedaris is a kookier, kitschier version of Martha Stewart in the four years since the release of her best-selling, I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence, get out your Popsicle sticks, toupee tape and clamshells. Sedaris proves her place as a domestic maven for today's irony-loving do-it-yourselfers with her latest book. "Simple Times" is steeped in '70s campiness, with a youthful, can-do attitude walking through an extensive list of projects, neatly indexed in the back, from Acorn Crafts to Macaroni Alien Mask and Yesterday's Newspaper Scuffs. Simple Times is an ideal gift for the crafter who has crafted everything."--The Associated Press
"Imagine a Girl Scout jamboree suddenly overtaken by a band of circus freaks. That's roughly the effect of Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People, the colorful new craft book by comedian Amy Sedaris."--The Wall Street Journal
"The funny new book we're loving . . . Had us cracking up from the first page . . .The entire guide is written in that laugh-out-loud style, making it a fun read even for those who have no interest in crafting. But for people who are into crafting, the book is a gold mine of ideas."--Cosmopolitan.com
About the Author
Amy Sedaris has appeared often on screen, both large and small. She's cocreator, with Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello, of Comedy Central's hit show Strangers with Candy and half of the Obie-winning "Talent Family" playwright team (with her brother, David). Amy lives in Manhattan with her imaginary boyfriend, Ricky, and her pet rabbit, Dusty.

-- Flip-flops should be replaced often. However, many people claim
flip-flops are the most comfortable when they are "broken in,"
just like a pair of sneakers. Flip-flops should be replaced every few
months just as a runner would with running shoes.
Analysis of High-Heels
A new study supports the notion that women should use caution when descending stairs in heels, this time from a biomechanical perspective. An analysis of the motion at the ankle joint shows that walking in high heels down stairs may cause an unstable gait pattern that could lead to an injury of the leg or foot.
The study examined barefoot to low (one inch) and high (two-and-a-half inch) heels with several views of the foot and the heel to determine what patterns of motion predict how the lower leg and foot activate at these different heel heights.
While the heel strike force was the softest in the high heels, the force on the toe was highest in this shoe. Greater toe-off force is required to propel the body forward, and potentially contributes to the instability that may result in injury, particularly after long-term wear.
Researchers also found that when barefoot, participants had the highest heel strike. They also noted that when walking barefoot, participants landed with greater force at the heel strike, which may indicate a more confident approach to the last step.
"Walking barefoot has its advantages, such as giving the intrinsic muscles of the foot more work and therefore making them stronger," said Wendy Miletello, Ph.D., who was involved in the study. "Stronger feet mean more stability for the entire body."
"High heels are very common, at work or in our culture of fashion, and
of course going up and down stairs is something we commonly do, even
unconsciously at times," said Lalitha Balasubramanian, lead author of the
study. "This initial look at wh

First of the Floppy Disc: Almond School
Tuesday, 13 July 2010 18:21
Being a historical fiction addict, I have always loved books about London, a city that has been around for over a thousand years, changing, morphing with the centuries. I remember reading a biography of Shakespeare that noted that travelers could smell London 20 miles away, a stench that consisted of burning refuse and open sewers.

"What I would like to see is a huge public outcry demanding clean air, clean water, clean food. For people to say, NO! Pollution is intolerable and we won't allow it anymore." Dr. Wally Burnstein
It's all over the Internet by now. Research carried out by the University of California reveals that of 268 expectant mothers each of them showed levels of toxic chemicals. The study, recently published in Environmental Health Perspectives, concluded, "Certain PCBs, organochlorine pesticides, PFCs, phenols, PBDEs, phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and perchlorate were detected in 99 to 100% of pregnant women." Read the report HERE.
This research follows the Environmental Working Groups stunning announcement, over 5 years ago, that 287 toxic chemicals were found in the umbilical cord blood of pregnant women, including mercury, fire retardants, pesticides and PFOA, a chemical used in the production of Teflon. Not too long ago medical science believed that these same chemicals could not, for some reason, manage to cross the umbilical cord and into the fetus.
As autism levels skyrocketed, along with attention deficit disorders and child cancers, the finger rarely pointed back to the womb and to what the mother was eating, breathing or drinking. I'm not talking about alcohol, tobacco or drug abuse, I am referring to pesticides and mercury in food, fluoride in water, dioxin and cadmium in the air, and PCP's in bottled drinking water for starters. Did we really presume that we could flood the earth with over 70,000 toxic chemicals and escape with our health intact? Who suffers the most, but the generations of children whose very DNA is affected by heavy metal contamination.

Gawker :: Shepard Smith Is An Angry Gay
Fox News anchor Shepard Smith is not only closeted, claims Gawker in a recent article, but he was also a total asshole to the NYC club's wait staff.
According to the Oct. 22 article, Smith, the new director of Fox News' breaking news operation, has been caught several times over the last year being belligerent and abusive in public. According to Gawker, the victim of his ire last March was Katya Minskova, a 30-year-old waitress at the Chelsea speakeasy Bathtub Gin.
Minskova told the website that on the evening in question, the 49-year-old Smith was drinking his usual off-menu mix of gin, muddled cucumber and shaved ice when he grabbed the waitress, demanding the next round.
"He got up from his table, grabbed my elbow and started yelling, 'Where the fuck is my drink! Where is my fucking drink! Get my fucking drink!'" said Minskova.
The waitress said she tried to explain to Smith that the bartender was mixing the second round, but he said, "You're fucking slow, I told you I wanted a second round."
When the Fox anchor demanded the check, Minskova passed it on to another waitress, and Smith left without an apology or a tip.

The resort offers a number of areas that are beautiful settings for just about any size wedding. The food, service, and rooms are spectacular. I cannot say enough about the incredible experience that the bridal party, friends and relatives had during the wedding weekend. If the resort is one you are considering for your wedding, you should really visit to see it for yourself. The pictures are beautiful, but being on the grounds and seeing all of what the resort has to offer will make your decision very easy.

Did Roman's have graph paper?
for one, am i reading that listing wrong, because it would appear as though christie's actually sold the dies in 2003; that is, it's not exactly "currently up for sale."
it's still a lovely thing; though my appreciation is more for roman glasswork than gaming, about which i know nothing.
wonder if a wealthy gamer bought this or a roman collector… i would like to think a gammer now owns this and rolls this amazing die
The die was used in "Annos MC!", a science fiction game set in an apocalyptic future in which grubby armored warlords battled over turf while Christians build gigantic futuristic temples.
Dude! You rolled a natural Pisces! Total crit!
'ere! I fot I lost that when we bleedin' crucified that Jewish bloke! Thats me lucky die , that is, I won me this here robe I been usin' to wipe the bleedin' windows!
@Takuan, Nice quote from my favourite adaptation of the crucifiction of christ! Dick Van Dyke was inspired casting as "3rd roman/cockney soldier"
I would so actually play with that.
I must inquire though: do my various attempts at capturing British dialects cause native speakers(and ears) to merely knock their brains out on kerbs to make it stop? Or is it sufficient to ram knitting needles full length into the ear canals in vain effort to ease the agony? Just curious.
bleedin' would be more appropriate on jewish, not crucified. And, a jewish person is colloquially an ikey-mo for some people, and even worse for others which I prefer not to repeat here, but use of the y- word for jews in cockey was routine for much of the 20th century, analogous to the modern-day re-acceptance of the n- word by african americans in recent times.
use of 'me' for 'my' is always typographically hard. its also a bit of a mixed bag with english accents when it is, or isn't used.
here should be 'ere in this here robe
and a wot I bin using would have gone well.
That's pretty cool. Is this really an ancient roman die?
Also, is that quote from Monty Python?
nope, but Life of Brian is a masterpiece
Wow, there's a blast from 2003.
Coincidentally, this was the very first thing I posted when I started MY blog almost five years ago.
It is hard for me to believe that this is genuine. And yet, if it is, it is easy to imagine the person this should belong to. Tycho of Penny Arcade. I have to wonder if he was the winning bidder; I can imagine him finding out about this too late and screaming "Noooooooooooooooooooooo!"
And, a jewish person is colloquially an ikey-mo for some people, and even worse for others which I prefer not to repeat here, but use of the y- word for jews in cockey was routine for much of the 20th century, analogous to the modern-day re-acceptance of the n- word by african americans in recent times.
Huh? "ikey-mo?" "Y-word" I take to mean "yid," and "N-word" is obviously "nggr," but what on earth is an ikey-mo?
See, this is the problem with strictly avoiding using the actual word we're talking about, even when said word is not being used in a derogatory fashion. Of course we shouldn't use "yid" or "nggr" to refer to anyone in ordinary conversation, but when the nature of the slurs is itself the topic of said conversation, it seems kind of silly to elide the very words we're discussing.
I'm currently reading "the Yiddish Policeman's Union" and the author uses "Yid" on every other page. e.g. "This yid didn't know a thing."
I didn't know it was equal to "nggr" in offensiveness.
This die was used by Romans to play an RPG set in a post-apocalyptic future where dangerous beasts roamed the remains of the fallen empire and mysterious natural forces had been brought under the reliable control of educated men. Good ol' Barathri et Dracones, by Gaius Gaccus.
Watch as Indy battle's his most annoying foe yet, a level 70 DM in Indiana Jones and the Campaign of the Glass 20 Sided Die.
Masons, Masons everywhere!
Does that look like a compass?(symbol on the bottom of the die)
There's a store in Bloomsbury, near the British Museum, that sells all sorts of antiquarian bits and bobs. For £40 a pop, you can get all the Roman d6's you want. (Basically, screw d20 and play Roman Shadowrun instead)
Eustace, why? a d20 is a platonic solid a natural shape known since thousands of years before plato. And around his time it was known that there are only 5 convex regular polyhedra (which are the properties you want for dice).
Games have been part of human culture from the very beginning, and the technical abilities to manufacture such a d20 must have been around for centuries when this was made.
I see no reason to suspect that this isn't authentic.
The shape was known; what's new to me was that it could be made in glass so well back then.
somewhere, gary gygax is smiling.
#6: Yeah, as per #10, move around the bleedin', drop a few more consonants, and maybe write "thought" as "fought" for best effect.
Also, given that it's obviously a cockney accent, it could use an "innit?" and some rhyming slang:
'ere! I fought I lost that when we crucified that bleedin' Jewish bloke! Thass me lucky die, innit, wot won me this 'ere robe I been usin' fer a Billy!
(Billy -> Billy Piper -> window wiper)
Not a bad job, though – certainly not one requiring curbs or knitting needles!
Glass can actually be ground or sanded quite easily, so the material doesn't surprise me too much. Other than ivory it'd probably be an ideal sorta-natural material.
Rome failed a saving throw with this die.
That really puts a new spin on "Alea jacta est"
The shape was known; what's new to me was that it could be made in glass so well back then.
It's very easy to make in glass.
1) Cast a glass blob a little bit larger than the dodecahedron you eventually want.
2) Get sand paper.
3) start filing off all the bits that don't look like a dodecahedron.
4) ????
Basically, you treat the glass like a gemstone, and shape it when hardened, not when soft. You can of course use more sophisticated cutting implements, but IIRC proper gem cutting, as opposed to sanding bits off, was invented somewhere in the middle ages.
I like the idea of using Roman-era dice for gaming. Ideally, while drinking from an 8,000 year old Neolithic-era cup.
I can't believe no one said this yet . . .
Ahem . .
So, when Julius Cesear said that the die is cast, I guess he was rolling for initiative!
(drum beat)
"So, when Julius Cesear said that the die is cast, I guess he was rolling for initiative!"
Given how fast he got to Rome, and that it was so fast that it forced the Senatorial faction to flee without even taking the treasury . . . .
I think he won that initiative roll!
How much in our society will outlast that period of time? Not much, except maybe our coins.
Look! I rolled a… circle… with a dot in it… that's a critical hit, right!?!? Lemme roll for damage… awwwwww, I only got an… upside-down V… with a… triangle in it! What's that? II, or III?
Gabu, I'd like to think that my plastic d20's will be around for at least 10,000 years or so.
Incidentally, I think the 20-sided form is called an icosahedron.
Anaxaforminges #17 — Remember that the characters in The Yiddish Policeman's Union are speaking Yiddish, not English. (Except for the occasional bits where someone says something "in American".) In Yiddish, "yid" is a common inoffensive slang term for Jew, but it's pronounced like "yeed".
In modern English, it's not quite as offensive as "nigger", but it's still primarily used derogatorily by antisemites.
Following the Christie's link, we find:
Acquired by the current owner's father in Egypt in the 1920s.
Immorally (if not illegally) acquired by the current owner's father in Egypt in the 1920s from grave robbers.
A friend of mine, who collects Bentleys, got a license plate for his most blingalicious, vintage convertible that reads 'P YIDDY'.
Avram #37– Oh yeah. I forget that they're speaking yiddish. Every once in a while a character speaks "American English" and the author notes it.
Chabon is the master of the analogy. All of his metaphors and similes are completely fresh and surprising. They knock me over with their brilliance.
Immorally (if not illegally) acquired by the current owner's father in Egypt in the 1920s from grave robbers.
Immoral? Says who?
Lots of Roman coins are found buried in urns, or just in fields – a glass die could certainly have turned up that way.
Even if it was in a clay jug that surfaced because of erosion, or that a farmer dug up, etc., why is it immoral to pick up something off the ground, especially if you own the ground?
Does the 2,000 years dead person have a better moral claim?
Does a government (either democratic or not) have a better moral claim?
Nerdgasm! Or, put another way: seeing that, I just scored a critical hit in my pants.
Wow, they need to make replicas of these. I'd buy one.
Like I don't have enough dice already…
You guys are all heretics. There is no die but d6.
Ikey Mo is Isaac and Moses. Its not rhyming slang but its still cockney slang.
I wish we could see the rest of the symbols; I can only see the sun symbol (dot in circle), the curlicued Z, and the V clearly. Only the V could conceivably be a number. I wonder if the die was perhaps used for divination of some kind.
I wonder if the die was perhaps used for divination of some kind.
Suddenly I want to play D&D with a magic 8-ball, fortune cookies and Tarot cards. Perfect for the 4th edition Star Pact Warlock/Divine Oracle.
I cast at the orc! Aw shit, the Tower.
I wonder if the die was perhaps used for divination of some kind.
Either gambling or divination, and if you spend much time in a casino, you'll see that there's really very little difference between the two.
Tht's hw rll btchs!!!
Funny, I was reading about ancient polyhedral dice last night, in Martin Gardner's "Mathematical Magic Show" book, in the chapter on dice. He says the 12 and 20 sided were mostly used for fortune telling.
old school geek!

Exactly. I wish boingboing would stop featuring looted artifacts. The antiquities trade is not a wonderful thing.

Kim Davis should not be mentioned in the same article as Martin Luther King Jr, yet SE Cupp and Loconte did just that, "Martin Luther King Jr.'s entire campaign of civil disobedience was based on the belief that citizens owed allegiance to the "natural law" -- a moral law higher than that of any civil authority.
When I was a scout on my first camp-out, each boy in the troop was assigned a task; some scouts were in charge of the food; some took care of the large canisters of Kool-Aid and water; some helped with tent raising; and others, usually at least one older boy along with a couple of younger scouts, were in charge of the fire pit.
Our nation owes a great debt to the young persons and older adults who protested against acts of actual or perceived police misconduct in Baltimore, Maryland; Staten Island, New York; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Ferguson, Missouri; Cleveland, Ohio; North Charleston, South Carolina; and other cities around the country. They are the moral conscience of our nation.

The Good Pub Guide has received dozens of complaints about children running riot in pubs. This, it says, is a "peculiarly British problem - in continental restaurants and cafes it's normal to see families with children, not normal to see kids spoil things for grown-ups". Judging by the volume and virulence of the comments left on the websites of the various newspapers that have reported this story, the issue is a touchy one.
The arguments could briefly be summarised as follows: a) Why are we so child-unfriendly in Britain? Of course families should have the right to go to pubs if they want to; and b) Pubs are for grown-ups, and pretty much the only place in this benighted country where you should be able to escape kids.
Having been a parent - of, I hasten to add, the same children - in both Paris and London, I am uniquely placed to pronounce upon this pressing debate.
First, for most practical purposes, Britain is actually more child-friendly than France. True, we are beyond awful at affordable childcare, but in many other respects - availability of changing facilities in shops; preponderance of big, green spaces featuring play equipment approved by safety inspectors; abundance of children's menus in high-street eateries; tolerance of tantrums in supermarkets - we're streets ahead. Kids? We love 'em.
But that's also the problem. Maybe we love 'em too much. You wouldn't catch a French parent patiently explaining to her three-year-old that throwing his food around is perhaps not a very nice thing to do. French parents shout. They're strict. By Anglo-Saxon standards, even cruel. Raising kids is about instilling knowledge and inculcating civilised behaviour.
And in France, as a kid, civilised behaviour simply does not include running riot in cafes. (As an adult, it doesn't actually include taking your kids to a cafe very often either.) Both approaches to parenting, in my experience, produce balanced and agreeable adults. But if I want a quiet drink I know where I'd rather be.

by Silverman, Joseph H.
The theory of elliptic curves is distinguished by its long history and by the diversity of the methods that have been used in its study. This book treats the arithmetic theory of elliptic curves in its modern formulation, through the use of basic algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry. The book begins with a brief discussion of the necessary algebro-geometric results, and proceeds with an exposition of the geometry of elliptic curves, the formal group of an elliptic curve, elliptic curves over finite fields, the complex numbers, local fields, and global fields. The last two chapters deal with integral and rational points, including Siegel's theorem and explicit computations for the curve Y^2 = X^3 + DX. The book contains three appendices: Elliptic Curves in Characteristics 2 and 3, Group Cohomology, and a third appendix giving an overview of more advanced topics.
